Not any more Financial Times Europe Milan Vaish­nav The author is a senior fel­low at the Carne­gie Endow­ment for Inter­na­tional Peace 20 Oct 2026 Settings Print Share Copy Listen A demo­cracy that once went look­ing for voters is increas­ingly demand­ing that voters prove they belong. That reversal is at the heart of a grow­ing polit­ical con­front­a­tion in India. In recent days, oppos­i­tion parties and civil soci­ety act­iv­ists have taken to New Delhi’s streets demand­ing the resig­na­tion of the coun­try’s chief elec­tion com­mis­sioner. The mobil­isa­tion has been cata­lysed by the Cock­roach Janata Party, an upstart Gen Z move­ment whose earlier protests over exam fraud forced the resig­na­tion of India’s higher edu­ca­tion min­is­ter. At the heart of the cur­rent protests lies the Spe­cial...

The infam­ous tele­vised Oval Office con­front­a­tion between JD Vance, Don­ald Trump and Volodymyr Zelenskyy crys­tal­lised fears that Amer­ica was now on Rus­sia’s side. Those wor­ries flared up again with the Trump-Putin sum­mit in Alaska. European lead­ers respon­ded to these pre­vi­ous crises with determ­ined Trump-whis­per­ing. They embraced Zelenskyy and coached him on how to sound grate­ful and con­cili­at­ory in his deal­ings with the US pres­id­ent. And they deluged Trump with phone calls and flat­tery, in an effort to take the roughest edges off US policy. This time around things look di...

Neo­cloud Nscale, which is tar­get­ing a New York list­ing at a $35bn valu­ation, will need to rethink its assump­tions after Microsoft pulled the plug on a deal to lease com­put­ing capa­city at a UK data centre. The US tech giant called time on its deal because the Essex data centre — a smallish part of its total spend with Nscale — is unlikely to be sup­plied with power until after 2030. That is not just a blow to Nvidia-backed Nscale, which counts former Meta exec­ut­ives Sir Nick Clegg and Sheryl Sand­berg as dir­ect­ors, but to its peers too, as it exposes the mul­tiple fault­lines run­ning through this fast-g...
